Mom attended school for grades 1-10 in the Milo area while completing grades 11-12 at Camrose Lutheran College. In 1948 May met her soul mate Damien Corbiell and was married on April 20, 1950. It was on the family farm, north of Cluny, that they raised three children Barry, Heather and Alan. Mom was an avid reader, loved to garden, and was also involved with many community groups, namely the CWL and sang for many years with the choir.
